I`ve heard

They say it`s a mistake.

An error.

A suitable end of time,

period to a period in life.

In silence we will stay.

The absence of sound.

Pure liquid presence,

faith in our own breath.

They say it`s a broken heart.

The metal stone

which makes us unable

to reach the surface.

Though destiny is out there,

we just might not know where to find it.

That`s because it is

infinite.

They say we have lost our minds.

But that`s all right, we still have our souls.

And a mug full of hot, black, sugarless coffee

(we need bitter coffee: our life`s already sweet).

The whole sun is trying to find a hole in our skin

just to figure out how to warm up things.

We need our own lights,

we need to shine by the inside.

They say we have no glory, they say we are scumbags.

We don`t live in glory, we don`t need no glory.

We need a place to live, something to eat,

and our strength.

We may need to spend several days without food, because

starvation seems to be a fast way to reach something.

Or we can just have a great meal

and talk about it later.

They say ignorance is a blessing.

But we ignore that phrase.

We know how important

self awareness is.

We build our dreams

upon the air,

hoping that God will reach a helpful hand

to hold our castles steady.

They say we can`t close our eyes at night.

That’s true.

When we lay down, we keep our eyes wide open.

We gaze at the stars!

And, when we look at them,

we realize how much endless we are

deep inside

ourselves.

They say loneliness is a great feeling.

But being lonely means never feeling anything,

means never finding something to be mad at.

(we are insane, indeed)

A sound might be just perfect.

The sea might be cold.

A night might be short.

A blink might last a whole life.

The say

one day

everything

will be over.

But we believe in the reborn glory.
